Over the last three years as the performing arts program manager at The Compound, I've been able to maximize and transform this  arts non-profit venue space to become a central hub for touring and local musicians and other artists to collaborate and create in any of its spaces.  In my current term here, I have held around 150 performing arts events over a wide range of music genres. I prioritize creating pleasurable and accesible experiences for creatives in our community. The Compound itself has been in existence for almost fifthteen years founded by Nick Wisniewski and Marlon Ziello, and since then have turned it towards its small team of individuals who strive for a mission of sustainability, community, and creativity.  Please explore the media to view some of our curated events: live music, plays, electronic music events, and one-off festivals.

    Version (2017-2025) was a long standing Baltimore collective hosting a monthly party series prioritzing BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. It was initially a staple and consistent event at The Crown Baltimore, prior to its closing and then moved to The Compound and finished its run with us. We've had the honor to collaborate with this group and help facilitate and continue these events.

     

    Version was founded and hosted by Kotic Couture and Trillnatured.
